It's easier to Cmd-Tab if you are Copy (Cmd-C) and Pasting (Cmd-V) to and from various applications.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Why does every update lately seem to require a restart as part of the process? Am I using Windows and just didn't know it?

If you don't want an update, select the update in Software Update and choose Ignore from the Update pull-down menu. Henceforth, it'll be ignored.

That was pretty fast. Lightroom just got theirs out a day or two ago. I'm glad to see that Aperture is closing the gap. Just in time for me, too, as I just received my 5D Mk2 two days ago.

Supposedly with the new OS X 10.5.6 update Apple have somehow sped up the USB bus (i dunno how) to the extent that it is now possible to shoot tethered with a Canon 1Ds mkIII without pulling your hair out waiting for shots to transfer. If so, HELL YES.

Anyone know if this update includes support for the Canon sRAW format (50D)? Currently OS X could not read these files.

STILL no LX3? Come on Apple, you are killing me here. Id start moving to Lightroom by now if it were not such a pain to get Out of Aperture.

I just bought a G10 yesterday, and was amazed iPhoto couldn't handle it's raw format...I wake up the next day, and BOOM Apple has fixed. Now you don't see that every day...I will happily reboot my machine for the privilege.

It's not just updating Aperture. It's updating a system level process. In this
case core image.
This way application developers don't have to issue new updates to support new RAW files. The core image API takes care of it.
And who knows, maybe other things as well.

anyone else finding that sRaw is still not supported in aperture?

LX3 support is probably hung up a bit by Panasonics own shenanigans with its RAW file, to correct for Wide Angle Distortion.
Please keep in mind that much of the work on the Raw Conversion is due to the cooperation of the camera manufacturer. Canon has always been eager to cooperate.
